Lake South: Lost In Space

Kiwi artist Lake South has been steadily releasing some seriously good music for a while now - most recent, a brand new video for his single 'Andrew & James (Seasons)'. We asked Lake South if he got lost in space, (and happened to have a record player - of course), what are 5 albums he couldn't live without?

Album #1

Mountain Goats - Sunset Tree


"John Darnielle just writes songs that resonate with me. When I'm at my lowest he's there with me and we defiantly resurface together."

Album #2

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love


"A friend introduced me to Kate Bush when I moved to Melbourne in 2005. I've been throwing my shoes in the lake ever since."

Album #3

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden (& Laughing Stock)


"I always come back to these 2 albums. They're so bloody good."

Album #4

Rival Consoles - Persona


"Better have one from this decade eh? I listened to this one afternoon before a show at the Wine Cellar. I then ranted for about 10 minutes about the power of music and how grateful I was to everyone who supported its creation. It's a yes from me."

Album #5

Bat for Lashes - The Haunted Man


"If only 'Lillies' and 'Laura' amirite? Epic."

Finally, we asked Lake South if he could hook us up with his go-to Spotify playlist for an even deeper dive into his inspirations and favourite songs. Enjoy!
